Some Tools and Services
Bunny is where this site is hosted and several of my static sites, it’s cheap, dependable and fast it hosts the videos for my sales videos on reallyusefulplugins even with all this its really the minium charge I pay sometimes a little more it really is great service and cheap to boot.
The basis for almost everyone of my sites my builder / theme of choice what can we say about bricks its is currently the best builder both in terms of output and third party support, I have lots of third party additions for bricks and this strength’s what I can do with it, the output is pretty clean, it does a really good job and this is the reason it is the basis of my sites.
This website is static and runs using simply static, I’ve found their support to be excellent and their documentation good and the benefits of making your block or sites static using a tool like this are many so If your considering that I recommend them
Dennis is a genius, and I’ve brought all his tools, including block studio. I use SleekAI on this site, it handles my ALT text for me, it’s really good, costs pennies to run, SleekView is on my list to thoroughly test out too.
This one is all me, this is where I sell some of my little plugins, designed not to make huge amounts of money, but each serves a single niche, and they are designed to make your life just that little bit easier using some of the other tools in this section
This is the lynchpin in my Windows development that links all my custom BAT scripts to my FTP and SFTP servers for plugin updates and script updates it allows me to set and forget, and it was worth every penny I paid for it, I can’t recommend this software enough, it was a really upgrade from the free no longer developed FTPBox
I use devkit a lot and have published a few videos on it and how I use it for database, resetting, search and replace. It has so many different items I use on a website basis to to reset the installation for a tutorial or to view the database. It continues to get better and better and its well worth the fairly tiny price.
While this one isn’t my automator of choice, I like it and use it, it has great linking with the Sure Suite of products which I use a lot and it also has the most intergrations I know of for an automaton, with additional new items like ‘human in the loop’ it continues to be a leader in its class, I prefer the data ownership I get with FlowMattic but if you don’t want the hastle of hosting your automation this is a really good choice.
I use this on all my sites alongside bricks and as such it forms part of my must-have tools, if I am firing up a Bricks site you can be 100% sure that it will be followed second by Automattic CSS
